My niece asked why all my old writing prompts start with 'a mysterious stranger arrives'
She found my notebook from college and pointed out I used that same setup 17 times in 2008. What's a classic prompt trope you've moved past?

Wait, she actually counted them? That's some serious detective work. I used to do the whole "it was a dark and stormy night" thing way too much. Now I try to start with the character doing something normal, like making bad coffee.
